This is an open call for article and research submissions addressing any topic of interest across the commercial real estate spectrum.
Topics may include:
- Asset class updates and insights (e.g., multifamily, industrial, office, etc.)
- Macroeconomic trends and capital markets analyses
- Climate change topics, including migration, insurance, and resilience
- Geopolitics, global affairs, and cross-border investment
- Regulatory updates (e.g. expanding role of CFIUS)
- Infrastructure investment, urban design, and development
. . . and any other topics you consider of interest to investors, investment managers, and users of the built environment.
We are accepting both proposals and draft articles for consideration with a deadline of July 20.
If your proposal is accepted, functional drafts of approximately 1,500–2,500 words with a deadline of August 10.
